hi all, please remember this car has cost me £415 (uk) or $800 ish!!!!

thought id would give you a glimps of the new benz, this is after two days iv owned her, picked her up yesterday, spent 2 hours detailing and getting to know her better and a few quick tweaks to rid her of that older look.

she drives like a new car, the self leveling suspension is very smooth, the interior is almost there. engine and box are unbelievably sooth!!!

and everything works!!

exterior - shockingly bad at the front if you ask me!! it looks ok but its not upto my standards yet, im booking her in for new front wings and a bonnet.........

i wont divulge anymore info just yet because i want to suprise you all when she is done in a couple of weeks time :thumbsup:

cheers
Ben

ordered a 45mm lowering kit and full set of new shocks, smoked front corners, im toying with the idea of those projection headlights but i think thats taking the 'toy car' avenue which im not famous for lol

im keeping an eye out for a front and rear bumper, i want the amg rear and the carat front, if my plan works i wont need side skirts!! im still awaiting my zender rear spoiler, its the slim lip type (not ducktail, just a skinny lip).

ha ha almost forgot the most important bit, im painting the front grill chrome surround in the colour of the car and after an s class style grill thats also getting the dark treatment.

is it just me or has a few styling bits got a lot rarer to come by these days??
